Thank you so much for making the series! Before discovering your talks, I didn't pay much attention on history, but your presentations are very captivating that I couldn't stop listening to. I'm learning a lot!
While commenting, it is believed that at least one of Henry's musical compositions was actually Catherine's. I don't recall off-hand, but it clearly had the occasional use of the harmonic minor in the otherwise natural minor scale. Until essentially this time period it was a clearly an Andalusian characteristic. I noticed you also compose music, so I thought this an appropriate comment.
Did the harmonic form of the minor come from Spain öriginally? Not sure if I fully understand your comment fully. We are currently only at Grade 5/6 in Adult Music Theory, so we didn't really dwell much on the Natural Minor as yet to be quite honest.
@@AnnetteMurphyger Yes, originally from Spain and likely Muslim (perhaps even Jewish by then). The harmonic minor has the "leading tone" on the V7 chord now. That far back it wasn't quite Chord Theory yet. White notes on a keyboard i = Am adds G# harmonizing the V chord as major, instead of v as minor. Today the Natural Minor can sound quite "plain" without adding the leading tone to the mix, or perhaps sounding "Celtic". The daughters of Isabella of Castile all studied music. Also, it has been argued that Henry VIII at least learned from Catherine of Aragon, or may have simply "borrowed" some of her music as his own. It is my hypothesis that the spread of Isabella's daughters and grandkids contributed directly to the spread of Renaissance music.
You are a fabulous speaker, communicator and certainly very good content and lots to learn. An oft used line in reference to Henry the 8th treatment of his wives is "please don't worry I shan't keep you long".
Magnificent Ms. Schubert does it again. Well worth waiting for. Thank you very much. Might I suggest a series on The Great Composers - Bach to Debussy...
the "Field of Cloth of Gold celebrations" reminds me of what happened at the Congress of Vienna after the Napoleonic Wars. Tons of parties with tons of alcohol.
I`m a Catholic, but never quite got the idea of Indulgences - which still exist today. Though I don`t think it is the handing over of a donation in monetary terms any longer. It`s a while since I have been to church, and shall research the `Modern Indulgence.` The ancient one seems as ridiculous to me as it would most people, I suspect. I`m reading `A Short History of Europe` (Simon Jenkins ) at the moment ( as well as doing a Maths Degree, also known as *Trying to do a Maths Degree.* ). He speaks of Indulgences as an investment in Futures, which of course takes it to an altogether new level - paying for Sins yet to be committed ( but I don`t think he meant Sins committed with Actus Reus and Mens Rea - he meant it by Sins committed by accident / weakness rather than by design ). // As Bono once sang : "The God I believe in isn`t short of cash, Mister !" Erasmus ? Wasn`t Erasmus Dutch ? I`ve also heard that what he wrote occupied 70% of the time of the Gutenberg Press. He was to Theology what Euler was to Mathematics during each`s term on earth.
Hi Eva. I'm dipping into this series next after your fascinating series on the Great Schism. There has been so much commentary on Tudor history in the last few decades but rarely does it escape from focusing on England virtually in a vacuum. But you have done that and I thank you. Just to spoil things a little bit, but on the assumption that you want to be accurate, the Field of the Cloth of Gold was not held at Hever Castle, it was held in France on fields at Balinghem - in between the Guînes (held by the English) and Ardres held by the French. Thomas Boleyn, as ambassador to France (and whose family did indeed reside at Hever) was instrumental in its organisation and both his daughters, Mary and Anne, were in attendance. It is thought that this may be where Mary, rather than Anne at this stage, might have first caught King Henry's eye. There is speculation that she may even have been pointed out to him by the French king (who had previously had an affair with her) and shortly after her return to England - not to mention her marriage to William Carey - she became Henry's mistress. I think Wolsey must always be given credit in the organisation of this propaganda extravaganza too. Peace and alliances with France were always his favoured policy but this was unpopular amongst almost all of Henry's entourage from the old nobility. Wolsey was determined that he would make this event as spectacular as possible by way of thumbing his nose at them - although, of course, the 'humble' Cardinal rode in the showpiece procession to meet the French on his customary mule (albeit kitted out with gold stirrups!)
You are correct about the location of the Field of the Cloth of Gold at Balinghem. Thank you for catching this mistake. As for Anne, this may be where she first caught sight of Henry, but not where she first caught his eye. That of course came later.
You're a very talented woman that manages to beat other historical documentaries with high production values with just minimalist equipment, you're so captivating along with the subjects you choose.
@@evaschubert1 You're most welcome and the reason why I don't miss linear/legacy TV is because of creators like you and it's the reason why TH-cam is such an awesome platform. God bless you Eva Schubert.
Hi Eva, I just wanted to say that I love your work and the way you communicate history to the world. Ever since I watched your video on the Battle of the catalaunian plains. I have been a big fan of yours and subscribed to your channel. ❤️❤️❤️
This Documentary is marvelous. Such a Wisdomous video. Thanks a lot for this amazing knowledge Ma'am. I appreciate you for your enlightenment which you distribute to us. Ma'am I am your great fan and you are my inspiration in the bottom of my heart for your mesmerizing songs . But I knew that you have also a history TH-cam channel where you uploaded proficient documentary videos. Really I got much more knowledge from your videos than school. But Ma'am I have submissive request that You please upload a video on the great Albanian national hero Skanderbeg please. I consider you a light source in the darkness who distribute the wisdom to all so please ma'am.
This is just merely a suggestion for future subject matter but I would love you to cover another Tudor, Queen Elizabeth I. She is my favourite royal from the past and she's the only one of them that has brought me to tears with one of her speeches, the one she gave just before the Spanish Armada was attempting to invade England which I'm sure you can guess which one I'm referring to. As I say this is merely a suggestion for future content as I must imagine a lot of work must go in to putting out these great videos
She is a fascinating figure without a doubt. There have been some excellent accounts of her life, so I would have to think hard about angle I could take to add value to that.
@@evaschubert1 David Starkey has made some great content on her and all of the Tudors in general, it's great to get different perspectives and takes on such fascinating figures from the past
I had to work more on the War of the Roses before starting this series. I didn't yet have the white rose (York) parts. Well, well, get out the merge tool. That started with my 2nd-cousins John of Gaunt Duke of Lancaster and his brother Edmund of Langley Duke of York. They married the sisters Constance and Isabella of Castile, my 5th-cousins. Well, the Lancaster comes from John's marriage to Blanche of Lancaster. Anyway, the daughter of John and Constance, my double cousin Catherine, will marry my 5th cousin Henry III of Castile, so now Maria Consort Queen of Aragon and John II King of Castile are my triple-cousins. I lose count with Isabella's grandchildren as Ferdinand II is already a 5th-cousin, Manuel King of Portugal already a 6th-cousin, and Philip I already a 7th-cousin. Oh, it goes to different lines of York. How the heck did Henry VII become king? Oh, Richard III was killed. His wife Anne Beauchamp was my 3rd-cousin through her grandmother Isabel le Despenser. Richard III the last York-Pantagenet, my 5th-cousin. Oh I see, two sons and a mother trumps two wifes and a son. That Henry VII married Elizabeth of York gave Henry VIII a better claim. Back now hours later I'll watch this series.
Always look forward to new content from Eva. She reminds me of Dan Carlin but she chooses insanely interesting niches you never really thought were interesting until hearing Eva's take on said niches. I'm an artist and love listening to Eva's podcast while illustrating. Thanks for sharing your interests Eva I'm a big fan of your work/art. Also love Eva's musical talent, a true renaissance woman.
Recently I'd watched another documentary on the Tudor monarchy and the Reformation. In the end I felt bad for the average English citizen. The nation was bouncing back and forth between both sects of Christianity and both sides would burn the other for heresy. I can see two guys on the street corner with each new monarch asking "What are we now? Anglican or Catholic?"
One could test the waters with a one off on that great virtuoso, sex symbol, rock-star and creator of the Master Class - the Paganini of the piano ... Franz Liszt.
Unfortunately, Maths was never my forte. I just about managed Statistics in Year 1 of my 3 year National Certificate/Diploma NFQ Level 6/7 Legacy Award in Business Studies specializing in European Languages and Businss with Advanced German and Ab Initio/Intermedite Level Russian. Done over 4 years including a gap year at ATU Donegal.Campus Letterkenny/LYIT.
In 1917 Mary appeared at Fatima and asked us to pray for the conversion of the orthodox Russia that her Immaculate heart might Triumph. In 1858 she identified herself in Lourdes as the immacilulat conception and the new Eve.

I know where the story is going, but I do not know how it gets there. The stage seems well set for the tragedy though.
He didn't compose 'Greensleeves' though.

Yes, it got very strange after Henry VIII for a while. We will get to that in the third episode.
Well done Eva Schubert
Oh wait, you didn't say that Catherine testified that her marriage to Arthur was never consummated. Maybe you will later.

True Christianity is not a religiion, but a personal and living relation with Yeshua (Jesus). Erarmus was Dutch not English.
completely inaccurate and arrogant
